No, this isn't one of those stupid polls. I'm just curious as to what folks are using to protect their privacy other than the standard things like FWs and the reactive non-productive bot killing apps. I made this response @ NI today and it got me to thinking about what others may be using or more importantly, whether folks even know that there are means to control what gets in and out. http://forums.net-integration.net/index.php?showtopic=22672

I personally use a combo of Proxomitron and AdShield. I see no popups or any other content I don't want to. I've been testing privacy software for many years and have found this combo to produce the most powerfull content filtering sys on the planet. AdShield allows me to simply 'click away' any content I don't ever want to see again...very handy for sites frequented that have heavy FX all over the pages(especially nice for DUN users). Because of Prox, I see NO third party images which means I see very few ads. In addition to the filtering capacities offered precfged, you can create your own filters and even munge ALL info generally collected by all servers. I broadcast ONLY what I want them to know and nothing more.
